Turboed Zc at the Track

Ok this past weekend I was out at the track with my 90 CRX Si with a ZC Turboed.
Unfortunately there were a few things wrong with it. For one there is a leak in the exhause manifold and I think there is one else where to. Because of the leaks (I assume) I couldn't boost over 4psi. I had borrowed a boost controller and havign it set to maximum boost I got it bumped to 5psi. I only had the boost controller for the first day and my best run was on the second day. This was the first time I had ever been to the track. We were running a .400 Pro Tree
Here are two slips.
This is my first run ever:
R/T: 1.120 (totally unprepared)
60: 2.778
330: 7.290
1/8: 10.768
MPH: 73.66
1000: 13.622
1/4: 16.050
MPH: 93.27
This was my best run:
R/T: .840 (still sleeping)
60: 2.391
330: 6.488
1/8: 9.913
MPH: 70.31
1000: 12.896
1/4: 15.377
MPH: 91.31
Now I not exaclty certain on the elevation but I was told the correction is .4 so if that is true then I guess I technically ran a 14.9. Also it was 35 deg Celcius out, not sure on farheinheit. My main problem is hooking up and actually getting moving. I was always getting wheel hop (chattering) at the beginning and my RPMs would like drop to 2000 and it take me forever to climb out cause I don't have any pwer until like 5500. My best run I dropped th clutch at 6000 it hopped a little but then the tires slipped and spun for while and i kept my rpms up. I think I could have pulled a little better ET maybe a 15.0ish but I dunno that is what a some ppl were saying with my MPH i should have been pulling better.
SO what do you guys think?

The second run sounds decent to me.
Now all you need is a new manifold, and a ZEX kit to spool up your turbo :)

nos will just help kill the engine unless it a built motor

a turbo'ed zc should be way better than that, even at 4psi..... fix your leak and work on your launches, or get that z-10 bar and kiss your wheelhop goodbye.
